And so it begins: Diet, t=0

Starting Weight: 228.0
Current Weight: 228.0
Weight Loss this Week: N/A
Total Weight Loss: N/A
Goal: 200

Clearly, it was time for the diet to begin. I'm actually pretty happy that I didn't weigh more this morning. See, for quite some time I've been enjoying the benefits of running and it was keeping the weight off without having to diet. I was hovering around 210, which, while not ideal, was totally acceptable. My goal has always been to get below 200 again (which I haven't seen since I moved to California) but getting below 210 gets rid of my double chin and in general makes my face look thinner (and gets rid of most of the belly).

Anyway, since I've been adjusting my stride I haven't been able to run as much as I used to, and so my weight has been creeping up. Therefore, it's time to go back onto the modified weight watchers plan. Basically, 28 points per day with two cheat days. I'll still try to run three days per week, but the distances will be determined by how my legs feel. We'll see how that works out for me. It's almost bikini season!
